Tēnā koutou,
PLEASE LET YOUR WHANAU IN AUSTRALIA KNOW THAT AT 6.30PM THIS EVENING (30 MARCH 2020) SCOTT MORRISON ANNOUNCED KIWIS ELIGIBLE FOR NEW AUSTRALIAN JOBSEEKER WAGE SUBSIDY: Kiwis at risk of losing jobs in Australia because of coronavirus will be eligible for a huge new wage subsidy scheme worth $1530 a fortnight.
But most completely unemployed Kiwis will remain ineligible for wider help from the Australian welfare system. The scheme will be open to Kiwis on "special category visas" - almost every New Zealander who has moved to Australia without upgrading to citizenship. The full announcement can be read on this link https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/120690651/coronavirus-kiwis-el...
Also, your Australian-based whānau can keep up with other assistance and entitlements they can access on this website https://www.nzrelo.com/the-truth-what-kiwis-in-australia-can-access-how/...
